Am an Engineer I currently with 2 YOE after graduate with two different jobs. Currently getting Master of Science in Project Management and looking to get the PMP certificate after graduation. Any advice/suggestions on what kind of jobs will most likely fit me? I wanted to get this Master mainly for career advancement and hopefully get into some sort of manager/director roles eventually.
